Cash/Galloway win second title of year in Mallorca

Julian Cash and Robert Galloway earned their second title of the season Saturday when they triumphed at the Mallorca Championships presented by Waterdrop.

The British-American duo surged to a 6-4, 6-4 victory against Diego Hidalgo and Alejandro Tabilo. Cash and Galloway, who also won in Delray Beach in February, saved all five break points they faced in the title match, according to Infosys ATP Stats, and won 11 of 18 second-serve return points. The Chilean Tabilo was pulling double duty after winning the singles title earlier in the day.

Cash and Galloway are each set for a new career-high in Monday’s PIF ATP Doubles Rankings. Cash will rise to World No. 39 while Galloway climbs to No. 35. The duo finished runner-up at this month's ATP 250 in Stuttgart, a week after a title run at the grass ATP Challenger Tour 125 event in Surbiton.

"It was very up and down match, very tricky decisions," Skupski said. "Them boys played great for nearly all the match. Mike kind of took over at 4-5 down [in the second set], hit some amazing shots. He gave me belief, we stuck around and that is doubles really, it is fine margins. It is great to come away with a win like that, it gives us confidence."

Skupski and Venus saved another match point at 8/9 in the Match Tie-break, tallying three consecutive points to win the Eastbourne crown after one hour, 45 minutes. The British-Kiwi duo fended off 11 of 13 break points faced, according to Infosys ATP Stats.
